Oh, who will remember, oh, who will be sure

And still feel the silence as close as before?

And was there a season without any rain?

Ah, never, oh, never, oh, never again



The time for dividing and no one will speak

Of the sadness of hiding and the softness of sleep

Oh, will there prove nothing of peace till the end?

Oh, never, oh, never, oh, never again



Old man, how you tarry, old man, how you weep

The trinkets you carry and the garlands you keep

For the salt tears of lovers and the whispers of friends

Oh, never, oh, never, oh, never again
